• "I have reordering these Presto paper towels for years. I like their toughness, absorption capability."
• "These are great paper towels for every day use. I love the half rip size, helps me not to waste a whole paper towel when I don't need a whole sheet."
• "They are super absorbent, thick, and affordable. One roll probably Equals 3 to 4 rolls of kroger brand paper towels that I used to buy."
• "They are nice and thick, select-a-size, and get the job done."
• "These paper towels are great. They are nice and thick, select-a-size, and get the job done."

Cons:

• "Been buying these for years without issue but my last order was noticeably thinner and stiffer."
• "Never used this brand before... Theses paper towel start off thick and then get thinner as the roll goes."
• "I purchased these to save money, however the towels are so thin it seems two are required to do the work of one."
• "To those who have reviewed this product as being as good as Bounty... Presto paper towels are not nearly as good. One might think they’re saving money but will wind up using twice as much product due to the thinness and lower absorbency."
• "I knew better than to buy these, however, I gave them a try. Don't do it if you are a loyal Bounty paper towel user, This brand of paper towels is awful."
• "CONSUMER FRAUD WARNING!!!!!!!! I've been getting these for about six years. Amazon decided to downsize the rolls and charge more."
• "I bought these paper towels for years (even on a subscribe and save!). They were a great replacement for Bounty select a size rolls. I don’t know what happened, but when I received my latest shipment of these paper towels (Winter 2021/2022), it was clear that the quality and thickness/absorbency per sheet went way down."
• "I am brand loyal on just a few things I buy, and paper towel is one of them. About a year ago, I was on Amazon to purchase my Bounty towels. I saw the reviews on several Presto items, and I decided to give these towels a try. I am so happy I did! We have been extremely happy with our purchase. They are just like the brand name, and cheaper. We are happy with them and we save money to boot! Double bonus. We have even changed to the Presto brand for our toilet paper."

Absorbency and Efficiency

Pros:

• "They absorb liquids quite well and don’t fall apart during use."
• "The absorbency of these paper towels is impressive. They effectively tackle spills and messes, providing a reliable and quick cleanup solution."
• "I like the perforation. Easy to rip and the right size as not to overuse or waste. They don’t leave residue(fluff). They are very absorbent."
• "I have found these to be the best paper towels on the market. The smaller size per sheet makes me waste less. They absorb oil and water easily."
• "I have been a dedicated user of name brand select a size paper towels for years. These are much less expensive and do a better job! Quick absorbancy and sturdy!"
• "These paper towels are great! Not too big, not too small, the perfect size every time. They're thick enough to clean up any mess and soft enough to clean a kids face. They are less expensive than other brands and they work just as well!"
• "I have been buying Presto paper towels for years as I am so pleased with how absorbent they are."
• "These towels are good. They are a good size, a good thickness, and I like the select-a-size to reduce waste. They tear nicely. They are way better than Sparkle, but they are not quite as good as a Kirkland paper towels. Unfortunately, ever since Covid, Costco is out every time I go. So, these are a decent substitute in the meantime, albeit more expensive.I hope this review was helpful!"

Cons:

• "However, it takes a little more than Bounty to absorb the same amount."
• "I purchased these to save money, however the towels are so thin it seems two are required to do the work of one."
• "The Amazon towel isn't very absorbent. Picking up a spill with it leaves you with a handful of soggy paper and much of the spill remains where it was."
• "If you are use to using Bounty then don't buy this brand as you will be disappointed. They are not as thick as Bounty and I've had to use 2 sheets to Bounty's one."
• "I had to use much more paper towels to wipe up minor spills of liquids."
• "It takes more than one flex size towel to dry your hands after washing."
• "Unfortunately it now crumbles easier than before, and almost immediately it leaves fibers behind. It’s irritating to even mildly sensitive skin and had me wondering what happened. I’m sorry to leave this review because I used to love this toilet paper and have purchased it a lot previously. The change was sudden and we used to buy this every month for a long time."
• "These paper towels are AWFUL. If they were going for thin and non-absorbent, they nailed it. The description says “if you like bounty, we invite you to try Presto”, which makes it sound as if they are comparable…..which they are NOT!It takes approximately 6 of these sheets to equal one of bounty.What a waste of money"

Convenience and Delivery

Pros:

• "The reason that I keep using them is because they are a good quality and home delivery."
• "I love having a whole bundle delivered so that I am never caught off guard with an empty paper towel tube in the kitchen! Great value for money!"
• "Door delivery of a bulky item is nice."
• "I really enjoy having this item being shipped straight to my door and never running out."
• "Mostly I love the convenience of having paper towels delivered to my house."
• "These are perfect for at home or office clean up jobs or just cleaning around the house! Loved them so much I do subscribe and save!"
• "I buy Amazon Brand - Presto! Flex-a-Size Paper Towels, Huge Rolls. I get them delivered each month. The paper towels are first class and I save money using them."
• "I'm not sure what I was expecting, thin? rough? smaller? but these truly surprised me! They are as good or better than the Brawny Tear-A-Square I had right before this! I've only used one roll, but so far I have no complaints! I think I've found my new go-to paper towels AND shit tickets (aka toilet paper)!"

Cons:

• "I purchased these to save money, however the towels are so thin it seems two are required to do the work of one."
• "The Amazon towel isn't very absorbent. Picking up a spill with it leaves you with a handful of soggy paper and much of the spill remains where it was."
• "The rolls were bigger than I thought which is great, they will last longer than I thought. Fit perfectly on my paper towel holder and has the small tear off sheets which is great for different size messes. I will be buying again."
• "I've been buying these Amazon Presto select-a-size for 3 years now, and I have always loved them and been quite happy with them. I started buying them instead of BOUNTY towels in 2020 during the pandemic after I got fed up with the Bounty towels not ripping cleanly off of the roll (I ended up with paper towel pieces and scrap instead of full towels). I have been thrilled with the Presto towels until my last order, which arrived several weeks ago. Sadly, I have had the same problem with these towels. They are NOT ripping cleanly off the roll either. I hope this is a temporary problem that they get fixed quickly or I'll have to start looking for a different brand again."
• "When I was a boy, I always dreamt of the perfect paper towel. One that would not only help in every day messes, but one that would be my confidant, my rock, my best friend. Well, friends, I have found my soul mate with the product."
